Good afternoon, it's Thursday, June 7. I'm Elise Randall and here's your local news from the Austin American-Statesman. U.S. citizens, businesses and institutions can now store precious metals in the Texas Bullion Depository, which is run by Austin-based vendor Lone Star Tangible Assets under the oversight of the state comptroller’s office. The depository accepts and insures gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium. Clients can ship bullion to the depository or submit it in-person.
